Irish Cream Pineapples on Ice Cream


There's no time for ice cream like the summer.  Some people can eat it all through the year, but in my opinion, summer will always be the best time to savor this chilly treat.  Today you'll see a "grown-up" version of ice cream that uses Bailey's Irish Cream.  I used graham crackers as garnish, but nilla wafers would also be delish!  For a "peaches and cream" type flavor, use a snack pack of diced peaches in lieu of the pineapple chunks.

Ingredients:

  • 1 snack pack pineapple chunks (4 oz size)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Irish cream (I prefer Bailey's)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • vanilla ice cream
  • graham crackers, for garnish

Pan Insert to Use:  Full Round Pan or Base Unit

Servings:  2 - 4

Directions: 
1.  Spray grill and preheat.
2.  Drain pineapple chunks, and then place on paper towels to soak up all excess liquid.


3.  Combine pineapple chunks, brown sugar, Irish cream, and water in a small bowl; mix.


4.  Place in grill, close lid, and cook for about 5 minutes (or until bubbly).
5.  Remove pineapple chunks from grill and let cool for about 10 minutes.


6.  Scoop ice cream into a cup or bowl and top with pineapple chunks.  Garnish with graham crackers.
